FROG AND CATERPILLAR

A frog lived in a vacant well
that had water from little to none.
There it did seem to happily dwell
as life was contented and full of fun.

The sun peeped into the damp
for nearly a full quarter each day.
Like eluding the dark with a lamp
as nature destined its short stay.

One day a locust fell with a thud
swept by far-off distant breeze.
With broken wings got stuck in mud,
clinging to a leaf from the trees.

The frog awoke from its sleepy trance 
and saw an insect of verdant shade.
Felt pity life's solitary encumbrance
and figuring what did Almighty bade.
